GUILDERLAND - George F. Grey, 85, passed away on Saturday, March 30, 2019.
"I'm originally from Mechanicville" dad would always tell everyone. He was the son of the late Irving Grey and Mary Lena Kennedy Grey, he was one of six children. He was a Boy Scout and was awesome with directions. George was a graduate of Mechanicville High School. He worked for the New York State Department of Labor as an Offset Printer for many years and later a Mail Clerk until retirement. Over the years, he and his wife Anne Marie partnered with his daughter in their family business of commercial cleaning and rental properties. He was a member of Knights of Columbus and a Grand Knight of Mechanicville council for many years. He met his bride Anne Marie Graziano at the Albany Knights of Columbus Council on Ontario Street in 1962. He was a communicant of Christ the King Church in Guilderland since 1975. Prior to that he was a communicant of the St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Albany. George enjoyed dancing, dogs, music, funny stories, and the outdoors. He continued to dance up until 2016 with his girlfriend Joan Noel at the Colonie Elks. He loved to tell jokes and he enjoyed making people laugh. He was a strong advocate for people with disabilities and helped to raise money for the Center for Disability Services with their telethons. He helped his daughter Gia with donations for the Job Placement Consortiums annual dinner and silent auction which helped individuals with barriers to employment.
He loved people but most of all he loved his grandchildren. George is survived by his daughter, Gia Annemarie Kaso (Michael) of AZ and his son, Jim Grey (Kate) of MI; grandchildren, Alisha (Ian), Zac, AJ, Tony, Zander, Melina, and Diana (Rayeshaun) and 3 great grandchildren, Luke, Ethan and Sommaiya.
